Happy October!

Hooray for Fall! (I had to say it just one more time.)

It is General Conference weekend, so of course it will rain in Utah. I'm wondering it's God's way of forcing Mormons to listen rather than go camping or take a vacation from church. I have no problem spending an entire weekend in my jammies on my couch. Too bad I won't be able to this weekend. Maybe in April.

Toad's cousin is getting married Saturday. I hope it's not an outdoor wedding; it might be a little soggy. My mother-in-law wants the fam to get together for dinner on Sunday. Something about birthday's or something-or-other. (Happy Birthday to Toad! - and me).

I had a point when I started this, but I am afraid I got side tracked and can't remember what it was.

Happy October!

"Our values develop our character & our character creates our destiny. When we're out of touch with our values, we are blown like autumn leaves, caught up in mindless routines...but when we affirm our guiding values, our lives are inspired by our deepest beliefs." ~Diane Dreher, Ph.D. Your Personal Renaissance

"Nothing is a waste of time." ~Rodin

"To know life is to love many things." ~Vincent Van Gogh

"...when pain is over, the remembrance of it often becomes a pleasure. One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it, unless it has all been suffering..." A. Elliot in Persuasion by J. Austen
